As business increase their dependence on third parties, and customers increasingly are concerned about their provider’s risk posture, it is now evident from breach data of the last few years that some of the largest breaches in history have been made possible by a weak third party link, causing financial losses and reputation damage to many organizations. This is driving the need for a holistic approach the encompasses more than just review of third party contracts.
